BREAKING NEWS: New coach to meet with players

Nebraska football players have been invited to a team meeting at 2:30 p.m. today where they are expected to meet their new football coach. Bo Pelini, according to multiple sources, is expected to be Nebraska's next coach.

Re: Nebraska having players meeting at 2:50pm

Crap, I do not want Pelini there. I was hoping for an embarassment like they had last time. Nebraska will never return to their previous glory, but they will be darn good within 2 years with Pelini at the helm. We better destroy them next season to get recruits that are teetering to come to Ames.

Chizik has more respect for the game, Pelini has a short fuse with everything. Pelini had nebraska playing the dirtiest football they have ever played in the bowl game. That to me is not how you win a football game, you treat the opponent with respect you keep your mouth shut your temper within and you take them down, if they get up, you take them down again until the game is won. You dont see Longhorn players choking and taunting to win national championships, they just go out and do it. I think Chizik has been good to our guys, he has a temper but he uses it at just the right time. Our guys play clean, they play hard and they play with respect no matter what the record is. That is what will make Gene Chizik > Bo Pelini in the long run.

Frankly, Pelini did a pretty average job at LSU with way above average talent. No one down here is crying over his departure. He has never been a head coach so he will have to make that adjustment as well. Time will tell how well he does but I would not consider this a "marquee hire" for them.

By the way, he has a couple of small kids that are real brats.

I cheer for two teams, Iowa State and whoever is playing the hawkeyes.
